The Granville Copper Mines and the

tNewSObSaryer.1

Mr.. T. c. Harris has just returned
from Oxford and other points in Gran
vile county where he went to gather
information concerning the copper
mines of Granville. He was unable to
visit the mines, but learned that nego-
tiations were going on between some
of the owners and syndicate of North
ern capitalists for sale of a part of
them.
The Oxford & Clarksville railroad
is being pushed rapidly forward and
by the first of November will be in full
operation between those two points.
Tie road is being we'll and substan-
TALLY built By the best contractors and
of the best material. Just now there
is considerable talk as to what point
it will be extended. In this particular
Raleigh and Durham divide the atten-
ton with large balance in favor OF
Raleigh. The owners and directors OF
the road really desire to build it to this
point, but subscription from Durham
may turn the balance in her favor. II
the directors propose to work for the
substantial and permanent benefit OF
the road, as a matter of course it will
be built to Raleigh, Notwithstanding
subscriptions from other places and
this is reported to be the opinion of the
diret tors.

History in q Nutshell.
philadelphia Press. !

The Federal Constitution has four
different dates fixing its adoption and
ratification, its going into effect and
the organization of a government
under it. They are all worth remem-
bering now.
September II, 1887, the Constitu-
ton was "done in convention by the
unanimous consent OF the States pres
ent," George Washington signing first
for Virginia as president of the con-
vention. This step is celebrated this
week, and it needed to be followed by
the ratification Of nine States before a
government could be organized.
June 81, 1888, the last of these nine
States needed to put the "new roof"
of the Constitution over the land, as
the phrase then ran, ratified the Con-
stitution and It became the law Of Il c
land as far as these States were con-
cerned.
March 4, 1880, the first Wednesday,
of March, the Constitution became
practically operative" The Su-
preme court was called upon to pass
upon this question (Owings vs.. Speed,

"Our Women Must be Protected. "

/ Commenting on the recent lynching
of the negro brute Eugene Hairston,
at Greensboro, for one of the most
heinous of all crimes, the Winston
Sentinel says:
Can any man doubt that this was
the right thing to do? Was not the
sentence, .He shall die," uttered by
a representative body of our fellow
citizens? Only such a crime would
have aroused such men to take the
law in their hands and we believe the
Iynchers will stand justified before God
and man.
AS to the effect of the lynching on
the minds of other depraved men,
no one can doubt for moment that
it was more forcible, more salutary
than the slow process of law, even if
the penalty eventually had been death.
There would have been possibility of
acquittal and opportunity for further
crimes. AS it is, there is none.
Even in the event of conviction, the
brute would simply have worked on a
railroad few years and then again
been turned loose on society. Now
he is 0ea2.
What an awful example to evil
doers! Imagine the effect on others
of like nature, contemplating similar
crime. Bafore their mental vision will
float the picture of a hundred dark
forms, a halter round the neck, pre-
carious seat on a horses back, a quick
cut on the horses flank, sudden jump,
and then a soul loaded with one of
the blackest crimes in the whole cat
egory of sin, sent out into the Un-
known, and only body, riddled with
bullets, left swinging in the midnight
air. Such a picture before the mind
of brutal man is a more horrible
warning than all the juries ever i'm
paneled or courts of law ever held.
We approve, and in no qualified
terms, the action Of the iynchers, and
SO do the majority of men, both laity
and clergy. In speaking to rever-
end man of God, we asked him if he
approved it. He said: 81 most GER
tainly do. 1t was the only thing to
be done and should have been done
the very day he was caught. With
such crimes increasing, only such vio-
lent punishments are adequate to pre-
vent them
1t is an unwritten law in the South,
but thank Heaven, none the less a
law, that a man who attempts rape
shall be hung. The white men of the
South are determined their mothers,
wives and sisters shall be protected.

Michael Schwab-be carried into effect
by the sheriff of Cook county on nth
day of November next, on Friday,
between the hours of 10 O'Clock in the
forenoon and O'Clock in the after
noon on that day. The judgment of
the court was unanimous. The
opinion makes 10000 words. The
anarchists had no counsel here to rep
resent them before the court as the
decision was announced and no steps
were taken in their behalf. They
have fifteen days in which to file a
motion for rehearing and thirty days
from the close of the term to file a
petition in support thereof. This will
not act as a stay of the sentence and
they will have to show very strong
grounds before the court would con-
sent to the issue of a stay of execution
until rehearing could be had at next
term,

HENDERSON, N. c., Sept. IA.
In quiet way the enterprising bus
mess men of Henderson have kept a
close watch upon the railroad move
ments now being agitated and without
making any fuss about it, have two
new terminals.
First, of the Oxford & Clarksville
road. This company has already Sc
cured the Oxford & Henderson rail-
road, which will become branch of
the r. & D. system with Henderson
as one of its terminals. This line is
already in successful operation between
Henderson and Oxford, and in short
while we hope to see cars running
through to Richmond via Clarksville.
Second, the Northern & Durham
railroad will have its Northern termi-
nus at this place. 1t is stated that the
work of grading will begin next week
at both ends of the line, and that
twenty-four miles of road will be in
operation before the end of the year.
The completion of this line will bring
us into closer relations with the other
tobacco markets of the State and ma
terially strengthen our position.

only preliminary and preparatory to
the creation of government whose

Fredericksburg, Va, has big pickle
factory that is supplied with cucum-
bers from. the lands adjoining the city.
This season the supply has reached
10000, 900 cucumbers, those engaged
in their production furnishing from
200, 900 to 900, 900 each. An acre
will produce 100, 900, and they sell in
Fredericksburg at 50 cents per 1000.
The object is to get them an inch or
an inch and half long and this re-
quires active picking before they in
crease this size. A boy will pick 5000
in day. Picking them thus early
increases the productiveness of the
vine, and, while the season Lasts, others
are appearing in place of those taken
from the vines.
